Adventure:

With sun, sand, sea and mountains galore, South Africa is an adventure wonderland. It has the Big Five plus some of the best land-based whale watching in the world! But part of the fun is that you can experience the wilderness and the country’s vast natural beauty on foot, on horseback, on wheels or even in a hot-air balloon. And if that doesn’t take your breath away, the country also boasts the highest bungee jump in the world!

Culture:

With 11 official languages and descendents from the four corners of the globe, South Africa is growing into a proud African nation. From the Cradle of Humankind, outside Johannesburg, where the remains of the first humans were found, and the ancient rock art in the mountain caves of the region, to the heart of Soweto, there is an awakening of culture after the long years of apartheid. You can see the ancient crafts of beading and design emerging in high fashion clothes and crafts. You can taste this rich fusion in the amazing food. You can hear it in the beat of kwaito music that will soon have you moving your feet to the distinctive beat. And you will certainly feel the warm African welcome in your heart.

Safari:

With the third-highest biodiversity in the world, South Africa is a land of abundant natural wonder. The bringing down of the fences with its neighbors has turned Kruger National Park into the Limpopo Transfrontier Park into the largest conservation area in the world. Watch the elephants and other herds follow their ancient migratory routes across Southern Africa. The gathering dusk after a day on safari is an experience you will never forget. It is the reason why so many people return year after year and why others never want to leave.

Here are comments from fellow travelers about South Africa:
